Overcame inexperience to make a winning bumper debut at Sedgefield last autumn and has looked good in 3 starts over hurdles, landing the odds at Market Rasen before scoring twice at Newbury, latterly in listed Mares' event (16.3f, good to soft) last month. Likely more to come yet.

Off the mark over timber at Cork (16.9f) in July. Kept busy and run with credit since, latest when fourth of 10 in listed hurdle at Punchestown (19.1f, soft) 20 days ago. Should give another good account.

Well held only outing on Flat for Daniel & Claire Kubler back in late 2022 but she did go with promise starting out for new yard when fifth of 13 in novice over C&D on NH debut 18 days ago. Faces a stiff task here, though. Hood goes on.

Won both starts in bumpers in the spring and is also unbeaten over hurdles, improving from her Ludlow debut success when readily taking Fontwell novice (19.1f, soft) 20 days ago. Asked a bigger question now but remains with potential.

15/8
Fairly-useful bumper performer who offered plenty to work on when 1½ lengths third of 9 to Listentoyourheart in listed contest at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 30 days ago. Likely to improve and holds strong claims.

40/1
Fairly useful stayer on the Flat (stays 2m) and bright start over hurdles when landing mares' novice at Newton Abbot (16.8f) in September. However, limitations exposed since and faces a stiff task against the principals here.

Built on encouraging hurdles debut when winning 6-runner novice at Lingfield (16f, soft, 10/3) 21 days ago, kept up to work. More on plate here but likely has more to offer.

Forecasts

Listentoyourheart (13/8), Jubilee Alpha (15/8), Hollygrove Cha Cha (13/2), Metkayina (7/1), Disco Dancer (17/2), Kitty Foyle (40/1), Don't Tell Rosie (150/1)

Verdict

JUBILEE ALPHA should have learnt plenty from her encouraging Newbury hurdles bow and may be able to turn the tables on Listentoyourheart, who carries a 5 lb penalty for that victory. Hollygrove Cha Cha is also of interest.
